The dog killer has been visiting oul
town during last week, and has done his
Work well. The only trouble is, that he
left too soon. We would invite him back
and let the good work go on. Yes, slay
without mercy these midnight howiers
and prowlers, thereby ridding lis OF a
great nuisance.
The Y. NJ. c. \. of our town has received
all invitation to be present at the supper
to be given by the ladies OF your town
for the benefit of the association, but as
it is at the same time of the regular

at which there is important business,
fear that but Jew can attend.
Who is the greatest living American
statesman? We would like to hear or
have vote OF the readers of the Observer.
"A. II. K. IN New5e,7y Observer.
We would suggest to "a. H. K" that
he enlarge his Jurisdiction on question
of such magnitude and rital importance.
He will certainly get somewhat larger
rotc. America is no small island.
The recent refreshing, gentle rains
have put a pleasing broad smile on the
faces OF the sturdy farmers. Ihe showers
have been so gentle and yet plentiful
for all purposes. Stands of corn and
cotton are very good, and both are being
rapidly worked and are growing fast.
Oh, how thankful we should be for these
divine blessings.
We have been eating some choice
beefSteak at our house this week, fur
nished by Messrs. Singleton s. Cabani5s.
We put some of it in the we'll to keep
cool, and when we got it out (from the
bottom) We calculated the cost and
found that the steak cost Us just Esq
cents per lb. Choice steak that-sweet
and Juicy. We don't believe that Wise
or Dickert furnish any such beef at
their hotels. However, gentlemen, we
are not advertising, we don't propose to
run one; we are satisfied.
We noticed few days since some Of
Newberry's fair daughters in our town,
who came here for the specific purpose
OF making purchases. Now we do not,
nor have we claimed any special boom
in our town, bus we do claim that we
have a class of merchants and business
men who are characterized by spirit OF
enterprise a@d progress, and every day
noticeably marks an advance in some
direction. The progress is not spas
modic, but is steady and effective. The
town taxes are almost nominal, rents
arc reasonable, and all manner of living
is cheap. The purchaser reaps the ben.
eft Of these advantages in the way Of
low prices for goods. Sell the people
goods cheap and they will buy, and they
will come from distance to buy. Il
these things are true now, what must
they be when we get the c., N. & L.
R. r. here. Frcights will be reduced
and the consumer will derive the ben
eft.
A few days ago two long, lean, gannt
black hounds found their way into the
pantry OF a certain hotel in this towr
just before dinner time. They did no
register, bE they were at dinner all thu
same, and when the proprietor put in al
appearance, they were enjoying rict

butter, and sweet meats, and otheI
things which were lying promiscuousl.
around. One dog had roast CHECKER
between his paws, and the other dog ;
ham, both seemed to be enjoyil e th'
occasion when ';mine host" took tn,
dogs by surprise, and out on the stree
came the dogs and proprietor, the dog
yelling from pain, and the proprieto
yelling from anger, and calling for sun
dry pistols, and guns, and marShals
swearing vengeance on all CANNES. Th
marshal was fouad, but when he arrived
on the scene, their dogsllips had retiret
in good order, leaving their bills unpaid
The proprietor however had obtained
gun and followed one of his guests ou
OF town, and sent him where all ba'
dogs go. Rations ut dinner were littl
short that day. That pantry is KEEP
locked now. II. J.. W.
